This.
I have a large, digital library of PS4 games. I would be absolutely pissed if I can't play every single one of them on PS5.
There was an interesting thread about it. Some users have posted link on page 1.
You mean OG Xbox Halo? Cuz you probably can't on Series X. Series X gets the same 360 and OG Xbox BC as Xbox One, and the original Halo 1 or 2 aren't on the list.
Halo Anniversary for 360 is on it tho. And the Master Chief Collection is Xbox One, so that should also work.
They had a huge advantage by using dx12 which is made to be hardware agnostic. The Xbox one was designed for forward compatibility from the ground up, the ps4 wasn't.
This would definitelly improve things, but would it be as effective/good as doing it manually?
There are remasters that have been using machine learning rather than doing it manually. I expect it to become increasingly commonplace as the technique matures.
Going off what we've seen of folk using AI upscaling it would really depend on the game. It can produce some amazing results though.
I'm really glad that Microsoft's awesome efforts in BC have seemingly made this a bigger deal to a lot of people that Sony is catching a lot of heat right now for their lackluster BC news. If one company is putting their all into preservation, people are going to expect the other to do the same. Microsoft raised the standard. Hopefully it causes Sony to at least re-evaluate their overall stance on this going forward into the PS5's lifespan.
I didn't even think about that. Will make replays of those games a blast!
As a Life is Strange fan I wonder what happens to stuff like Captain Spirit which is labelled as a Demo with no achievements. It's a prologue (sorta) for Life is Strange 2 and will hopefully not get lost when we move forward.
I didnt know that. Is there a list of those games? If the result is good, it certainly would be time and cost efficient compared to doing it manually.
That looks pretty good, indeed.Going off what we've seen of folk using AI upscaling it would really depend on the game. It can produce some amazing results though.
Commandos 2 is the first example to come to mind, but I feel I've seen it elsewhere, too.
Depends what type of enhancements. They all will benefit from faster loading times, framerates hitting their cap more often or locked, dynamic resolutions hitting it's highest resolution more often or locked to it, and any other enhancements done at the system level such as increased anthropomorphic filtering and machine learning HDR added to games without HDR.
Enhancements such as Increased resolutions and framerates beyond their cap will only occur on select titles and the BC team has to apply their methods and test them individually.
All games will get increased performance, but only a curated list will get resolution boosts beyond their limits.
MS didn't take a stab at Sony. They simply answered a question on twitter by a fan spurred on by constant threads on Resetera claiming Xbox never confirmed 100% BC of XB1 on XSX.
Thank you it deems fair enough. Very good stuff ! Better than the PS5 right now...
It's turned that way right about the time the power struggle happened and management shifted.
Do you play their games on PC? If so you are investing in their brand.
Which is baffling for the console side. I am playing Legend of Dragoon now on vita and it's amazing. Why won't I be able to do that on ps5 with enhancement?
Just like with the BC for the Xbox One family of devices (One, S and esp the X), MS added additional goodies on top such higher res, frame rates, etc. ]
Now we may be getting HDR added even for games that didn't have em like Halo 5. Simply AWESOME.

BC OG Xbox games like Fusion Frenzy even got HDR added. LOL It's simply AWESOME indeed.
I don't have a ton of interest in standard backwards compatibility. However, I have enjoyed playing upgraded versions of old games IMMENSELY. it really has been one of my top unexpected surprises this generation, and I'm looking forward to more of that.
Man, these wars be serious business. It's sad that this had to be even clarified. Buy what system you love and be happy. If you like what's on the other console, then buy the other console. This isn't a life or death decision here. These 2 companies have done nothing for you to earn such devotion.
Ok just one question: this includes physical games, right? Like I know it would have to download it anyway like on Xbone, but if I plop a Chaos Theory disc into Series X it would let me play it, ye? Also do my (compatible) 360 digital purchases carry over?
Nice, Ive been meaning to revisit my 360 library at some point, this could be the best excuse for that.
